Hi, Jasvinder,

Thanks for your concern.

192.168.10.172 32 0 65535 0 65535 6 0xF 0" to the firewall. Does it mean
that the firewall block the ipv4 traffic from 192.168.10.171/32 to
192.168.10.172/32?

Also, another question is how can we set the default firewall to pass
through all the traffic? I run "p 1 firewall ls" CLI command, it shows that
the default operation of the firewall is to drop all the traffic.

Moreover, I do not know how to verify my configuration. Like the pipeline
firewall I have created above, on the 192.168.10.171 host, I just ping the
192.168.10.172 host. And I run "p 1 firewall stats port in 0" or "p 1
firewall stats port 0", it just returns

"Pipeline 1 - stats for input port 0:
Pkts in: 0
Pkts dropped by AH: 0
Pkts dropped by other: 0"

and

"Pipeline 1 - stats for output port 0:
Pkts in: 0
Pkts dropped by AH: 0
Pkts dropped by other: 0"

BTW, the topology is as below,

-------------------------
---------------------------
|                         |                                  |
            |
| 192.168.10.171  |------pipeline firewall------| 192.168.10.171  |
|                         |                                  |
            |
--------------------------
---------------------------

Also, if I change the pipeline firewall application to the pipeline l2fwd
application, the forwarding function works correctly, but the statistics
are also "0".

Wish for your reply :-).
